the place I bought the paint from is very reasonable if anyone is interested. They sell in many different forms, touch up, aerosol or pints/quarts, etc.

to him for the idea.

Looks great! what did you have before (the chrome strips on the edges of the original grill) I kinda like that with the chrome shell for mine.

Thanks,

Thanks. I think I'm going to paint the mesh black, but I like the way it looks with the chrome on the bumper...can't decide.

I used to love Chrome until I started removing it. IMHO colormatch is the way to go. The painted headlights look great!

I want to color match my grille with the chome inserts to tie in to the front bumper moulding and headlights. I cant find just the chrome inserts for sale though, only the whole grille.
